Engineered by HitLights for residential and commercial projects, this slim series electronic driver delivers smooth, flicker-free dimming when paired with a standard in-wall dimmer. It is ideal for under-cabinet lighting, coves, shelves, display cases, and other low-voltage accent lighting installations.
- 12V DC, 36W (3A) output for single-color LED strip lights
- Full-range 0–100% dimming with compatible wall dimmers
- Slim linear housing to fit in tight spaces and enclosures
- UL Listed Class 2 and FCC compliant for safety and reliability
The driver accepts 120 VAC input (108–132 VAC, 50/60 Hz) and converts it to a regulated 12V DC output up to 36 watts for LED strip loads. Integrated protection against short circuit, over-voltage, and thermal runaway supports long-term reliability in demanding installations.
Unlike non-dimmable plug-in adapters, this unit is hard-wired and compatible with many forward-phase and reverse-phase dimmers, including popular models from Lutron and Leviton, allowing lighting control from a standard wall location.
The slim enclosure (approx. 10.35 x 1.26 x 0.87 in, IP20) fits easily in cabinets, junction spaces, and other dry interior locations. With a power factor around 0.96, efficiency ≥80%, and a working temperature range from roughly -40°C to +60°C, it is suitable for a wide range of indoor environments.
A 6-year warranty provides additional peace of mind for integrators, contractors, and homeowners planning long-life LED installations.
Designed for single-color 12V LED strips, this driver is an appropriate choice when a compact, dimmable, UL Listed Class 2 power solution is required.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: What is this 12V 36W slim dimmable LED driver used for?
A: It is a 12V DC, 36W electronic Class 2 driver designed to power and dim single-color LED strip lights in indoor installations. Common applications include under-cabinet lighting, cove lighting, shelving, and accent lighting where wall dimmer control is desired.
Q: Who is this 36W dimmable driver best suited for?
A: This driver suits electricians, contractors, cabinet builders, and homeowners who need a compact, hard-wired dimmable power supply for 12V strips. It is appropriate for both small commercial projects and residential remodels where reliable, low-voltage LED power is required.
Q: How does the driver dim, and which wall dimmers are compatible?
A: The driver uses electronic circuitry that supports 0–100% dimming with compatible forward-phase, reverse-phase, Triac, MLV, and ELV dimmers. It is designed to work with many models from brands such as Lutron and Leviton, so installers can match the dimmer style to the space.
Q: What are the main electrical and physical specifications?
A: Input is 120 VAC (approx. 108–132 VAC, 50/60 Hz) with a power factor around 0.96 and efficiency of at least 80% at full load. Output is regulated 12V DC up to 36W (3A). The slim enclosure is roughly 10.35 x 1.26 x 0.87 inches, IP20 rated for dry indoor use.
Q: Can this driver be used outdoors or with RGB LED strips?
A: No. The driver carries an IP20 rating and is intended only for dry, indoor locations. It is also designed for single-color 12V LED strips, not RGB or multi-channel strips, which require a compatible RGB controller between the driver and the LEDs.
Q: What protections and certifications does this driver have?
A: The driver includes protection against short circuit, over-voltage, and thermal issues to help protect connected LED loads. It is UL Listed as a Class 2 power unit and is also FCC compliant, supporting both safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
Q: What is the warranty on this 36W dimmable driver?
A: The product carries a 6-year warranty from HitLights. This extended warranty period reflects the intended use in long-life LED lighting installations and provides assurance for professional and residential projects that require reliable low-voltage power.
